Mysterious, magical, glittering and glamorous — I can’t wait for more!
Oh, this book! If I could name one 2019 release that’s I’m eagerly, (over-) excitedly looking forward to, The Gilded Wolves sits proudly at the top of the list. The last book that held that spot was The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton and while they’re completely different in nature, they do have a couple of things in common — lush decadence in an historical setting with a luxurious French-inspired backdrop.
Historical novels are one of my favorites in the world of fiction, particularly the late 1700’s and the entirety of the 1800’s, irrespective of location. The glitz and glamour of the Victorian era, the Gilded Age, and the Belle Époque —even the names of the time periods sound so glamorous. Although don’t get me wrong — plenty about those eras were certainly not all lace and ribbons, and that’s usually one of the best parts in fiction — the juxtaposition of diamonds and lace against a world that is anything but beautiful.
The Gilded Wolves sounds like a fantastic mysterious and magical first installment in a new series and I’m very intrigued by the Order of the Babel and what part it plays in the entirety of the story and how it fits in with the characters. I love me a good Order, especially when it’s a society that holds all the power, and it seems like this particular one does just that.
